This invention GAUGE.

Application filed February 24, 1926. Serial No. 90,411.

relates to gauges and has for its object the provision of a gauge of simple construction deslgned for use by car penters for marking window easements at points where such casement is to be bored and mortised for leys.

A further object is gauge for this purpose .the reception of sash pulthe provision of a which is adjustable.

To the attainment of the foregoing the invention consists in the lmprovement as hereinafter described and definitely claimed.

In the drawings Flgure 1 1s a plan view of the improvement.

Figure 2 is an edge View parts in section. Figure 3 is a 3--3 of Figure 1 Figure 4 is a thereof, with sectional view on the line 4-4 of Figure 1.

It is frequent that mills ship window casings in knocked members of the casings down condition. The side are grooved at the mill for the reception of the parting bead and are transversely grooved for the ends of a top member of the casing or frame.

The side stiles of these frames are not, however, provided with the openings for the sash cord pulleys.

With our improvement we aim to provide an adjustable gauge of a simple construction whereby the stile is indented at points where the screw end of a bit is to be received in making the round openings through the'stiles previous to the chiseling of the stiles to provide the straight side Walls of such openings.

In carrying out 0111' invention V6 make use of a bar 1 which is provided, adjacent to one of its ends with a central longitudinally extending slot 2. The slotted end of the bar is received in the central channel portion 3 of a plate 5 passes through holds the plate 4 on The bar 1 is of a ceived in the groove the stile, while the rest on the lower 4, while a headed screw the slot 2 and adjustably the bar.

width to be snugly refor the parting bead in plate 4 is designed to wall provided by the transverse groove adjacent to the upper end of the stile.

It is to be noted that the bar 1 is adjustably secured to the plate 4.

The bar 1, at the groove is o a suitable distance from ifset outwardly as at 6 merges into a straight extension 7 On the part 7 of the bar 1 there is fixedly secured spaced laterally extending metal strips 8. The portion of these strips which project beyond the sides of the bar areprovided with spaced round openings 9, and through one of each of such openings there is passed the shanks of headed screws 10 which engage threaded openings in substantially rectangular gauge plates 11. Each plate 11, on its outer face is centrally'formed, adj acent to its inner edge with an outstanding head 12, and outward of the head with an elongated slot 13. Passing through each slot 13 there is any desired number of equidistantly spaced bolt members 14. Each bolt has a headed end 15 and a pointed end 16, and each bolt is engaged by a nut 17 that contacts with the inner face of the portion 7 of the bar 1.

From the foregoing description it will be obvious, to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates that when the head 4, constituting the plate on the slotted end of the bar 1 rests on the inner wall or shoulder of the transverse groove in the stile and the said bar 1 is properly adjusted on said head 4 and is received in the longitudinal groove of the stile the pointed end 16 of the bolt members 14 are arranged to make proper indentures in the stile at points where the said stile is to be bored. The end 7 of the bar being oi'i'set from the bar proper holds the point 16 from contacting with the stile so that pressure, such as that exerted by the blow of a hammer is delivered against the heads 12. Because of its offset portion 6 the end 7 will spring away from the stile which permits of the easy removal of the gauge. By providing the strips 8 with the spaced openings 9the bolt members 10 may pass through any of the said openings and engage the threaded openings in the gauge plates 11, thus rendering the device adjustable for indenting the stiles of the window casings in which varying thicknesses, of sashes are employed.

:- The simplicity and advantages of the impointed elements carried by each herein set forth and that We are entitled to all such changes therefrom as fairly fall Within the scope of What We claim.

Having described the invention We claim 1. A gauge of the class prising a bar designed to parting head slidable .on and adjustably secured to one end of the bar to rest on the lower Wall of the transverse upper groove in the stile, said bar having an approximately central offset therein, gauge plates disposed along; the edges at the second end of the bar, lateral described, combe received 111 the F elements fixed on the bar and overlying the gauge plates, means for securing the gauge plates to said elements to arrange the said gauge plates laterally adjusted ith respect to the bar, and longitudinally adjustable gauge plate.

- 2. A carpenters gauge for the purpose set roove of a WlIlClOW stile a lateral forth including a bar offset at the central portion thereof and slotted longitudinally near one of its ends, a notched head receiving the said end of the bar in the notch thereof, a binding element passing through theslot of the bar and engaging the head, lateral strips secured near the unslotted end of the bar and having spaced openings adj cent to their ends, gauge plates underlying the strips and parallel With the bar, bolt members passing through one of the openings in the strips and engaging threaded openings in the gauge plates, each of said gauge plates having a longitudinal slottherethrough, pointed members 'adjustahly arranged in said slots, and a head on each of the gauge plates.

In testimony whereof we ailix our signatui'es.
